Notre Dame 99-to-0: No. 54 Blake Fisher, junior right tackle, second-year starter
Listed measurements: 6-foot-6, 310 pounds. 2023-24 year, eligibility: A junior, Fisher has three seasons of eligibility remaining. Depth Chart: Fisher will start for Notre Dame at right tackle, his third of three seasons starting for the Irish in their season opener (barring any preseason calamity). That remains worth mentioning as Fisher was only the second freshman to ever start a season opener on Notre Dame’s offensive line.

France grind out narrow win over dogged Greece in Paris
Kylian Mbappe set another record as France stretched their 100 per cent start in European Championship qualifying Group B with a 1-0 win over Greece in Paris. Mbappe's 55th-minute penalty was his 54th goal of the season and took him clear of Just Fontaine to become the top French scorer in a single club and international campaign. But there was an air of fortune about his winner after Odysseas Vlachodimos palmed away his initial penalty only for the referee to spot an infringement and order the kick to be retaken. Kolo Muani and Jules Kounde also had good chances for France while Greece's task became harder after Konstantinos Mavropanos was sent off for a foul on Muani in the 69th minute.
